Hi All, Can anyone please let me know where Windchill Data model diagram is and how will I get to know the database table relationships. Just like we have IDA3MASTERREFERENCE in WTPart to IDA2A2 in WTPARTMASTER. I wish to know which column in one table has a relationship with another column in another table. Where can i get the Windchill Data Model Diagram. Can anyone please let me know how to get to know this database tables column relationships. Thanks and Regards, Aditya

Hi. I was wondering if anybody can advise. I have received a fresh instance of Windchill. The person who performed the install of the software on the application server did not use a new local "wcadmin" account to complete the install. Instead, the initial admin account used to perform the install was an account from our Enterprise Directory. Our LDAP server is configured to be read-only. Consequently, I have received the new Windchill instance with an inability to create local Windchill accounts - it seems it is now only possible to import users from active directory.  Please can anybody advise how important it is to have at least one account in Windchill that is not an account from active directory that can be used for admin purposes?

Hello Greetings! I have developed a custom endpoint inside custom domain to fetch Documents of WTDocument subtype named "QMS Document" based on three input parameters "Library" "Folder" and "State", However when I try to call this service from Thingworx, unable to utilize "$top"  and $skip" parameters, since I need to allow pagination within Thingworx UI to select range of Documents to be displayed on single page, currently this functionality seems useless as I can see all the Documents fetched for specific folder within the library and cannot filter using range. I have used custom code to query Documents based on search condition for provided three input parameters. Need assistance whether this is possible to add classic OOTB query parameters in custom import.json 

Hi Community,Is there a way to set a condition in PartsLink 12.0 that works like a "required if"?So if PartsLink attribute “Type” == “mechanical”, then attributes 1 and 2 must be required.If PartsLink attribute “Type” == “electrical”, then attributes 3 and 4 must be required.The AI says that this is available from version 11 onwards, but I can't find anything. Is this a hallucination, or can someone explain to me how to set this up?Thanks in advanceBR Simon

I have a report that pulls votes from esigned workflow tasks that is not working properly in version 13. I check the database in the SignatureLink table and noticed the following: Signatures created in 13 are stored differently so my checks are failing in code: //get signatures for ECN QueryResult result=PersistenceHelper.manager.navigate(ecn,SignatureLink.SIGNATURE_ROLE,SignatureLink.class,false); logger.debug("Got signatures:" + result.size()); boolean override=false; SignatureLink link=null; //check to see if override signature exists while(result.hasMoreElements()) { link=(SignatureLink)result.nextElement(); ... //is vote from CCB Review or Chairperson decision task else if ((link.getVote().equalsIgnoreCase("approve"))||(link.getVote().equalsIgnoreCase("amend"))||(link.getVote().equalsIgnoreCase("reject"))) //ignore sigs from override task Since SignatureLink is not in the JavaDoc, its likely that this is not a supported class, so if there is another supported method to re

Hi @unknown , did you get the solution for this question ? I myself came across a similar use case where I need to make the IBA hide from advance search criteria drop down for most of the users and only one particular role assigned user will be able to see that IBA in drop down. Kindly help if you got the solution other than Profile option.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We have several Configurable Reference Links connecting various types of Parts and Documents. When we have added the different objects to a Part, we would also like to be able to see on the object which Part the object is connected to.Description: Somehow I don't see the linked objects in the Reference Parent Objects table and I can't seem to find any help on the issue.Have I lost something in the setup? (Reference Links can easily be created and attribute values passed over)Any good leads on this?

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Recently I've been experiencing a Heap Memory shortage situation on my Windchill Method Server.Description: Recently I've been experiencing a Heap Memory shortage situation on my Windchill Method Server.To address this situation, we increased memory and added heap memory. However, the garbage collection rate and heap memory usage continue to increase, resulting in errors in use.It's difficult to understand why this issue persists despite no significant changes to the Windchill system or significant changes in the number of users. Could this be due to a sudden garbage collector issue?

Just noting here but my question is more of a why does this occur? Solution is relatively easy. Discussion comments appear with ???name??? like this:   Solution is clearly documented by article CS436187: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS436187?source=search  I have over 201K comments in my system but when I rant the check query the article described, 40000 remained. Its too round of a number to be believed so what's going on here? I suspect its some query limit but not sure where.  I ran the update command to fix and it left 10000 incomplete. Another nice round number. Running a second time brought it down to 0. Strange that the upgrade script marks it as done and moves on. Also interesting that the fix is running a loadFromFile xml command. I've not seen that done before. Strange way of invoking a utility. windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d loadFiles/upgrade/updateMessageToRichTextMigrator.xml -u wcadmin -p password anyone know how the above command works?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Rename representation files with revision, iteration, lifecycle state and copying the representation file to attachments (so we can get the files out when creating packages) Description: We have set up the additional files (CS81396) - and would like to do multiple things with the files in the representations. Namely: Rename with revision, iteration CS349681 , lifecycle state CS252900 and copying the representation file to attachments (so we can get the files out when creating packages ) CS348848  Is it possible to have these files running separately, or do I need to write the functions we need together for a single AfterEDRloader file? As far as I can tell there is only a single publish.afterloadermethod that can be set

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: users can not see the library unless they are in the Organization Administrator groupDescription: First I am NOT a windchill expert, far from it, I just need this to work.We upgraded from an older version and I am trying to cleanup the previous configuration. All users were administrators in the old config and when I put them in the correct groups they can not see the library or the library only list 37 objects out of the over 1000 objects. If I put the user in the Organization Administrator group they can see all the library objects.Is this a permissions issue?What would need to change?
